Starting and Stopping Backup Jobs

You can start a backup job manually at any time you need, for example, if you want to create an additional restore point for Veeam Agent backup and do not want to change the job schedule. You can also stop the running backup job before the job session completes, if necessary.

You can start and stop backup jobs in one of the following ways:

• Using the Veeam Agent control panel 
  • In the Veeam Agent command line interface

  Note

  If the backup repository becomes unavailable or connection to the repository is interrupted during backup, Veeam Agent will retry the backup job 3 times with an interval of 10 minutes between each retry attempt.
